Waters) who was an eminent Sangha member of that era and one who had
attained the Way. When the Master Yun was forty years of age. he
arrived there to draw near to the Venerable Master, At that time. P'eng
Yu Lin (a director of the palace police force in the Ch' ing

Of Chiao Mountain on the Chen River, the
Venerable Master Ta Shui,
And the Hui Chu Dhyana Monastery,
everyone far and wide has heard.
